    Edge dislocation depinning from hydrogen atmosphere in α-iron
    (Acta Materialia Inc, 2024) Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Yu, Ping; Liu, Guisen; Shen, Yao; Li, Yang; Bal, Burak; Marian,Jaime; 0000-0002-7389-9155; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü; Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Bal, Burak
    Understanding the dislocation motion in hydrogen atmosphere is essential for revealing the hydrogen-related degradation in metallic materials. Atomic simulations were adopted to investigate the interaction between dislocations and hydrogen atoms, where the realistic hydrogen distribution in the vicinity of the dislocation core was emulated from the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo computations. The depinning of edge dislocations in α-Fe at different temperatures and hydrogen concentrations was then studied using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The results revealed that an increase in bulk hydrogen concentration increases the flow stress due to the pinning effect of solute hydrogen. The depinning stress was found to decrease due to the thermal activation of the edge dislocation at higher temperatures. In addition, prediction of the obtained results was performed by an elastic model that can correlate the bulk hydrogen concentration to depinning stress.

    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2024) Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Mozafari, Farzin; Aydin, Murat; Cetin, Baris; Oktan, Aynur Didem; Teoman, Atanur; Li, Yang; Bal, Burak; 0000-0001-8218-4410; 0000-0002-7389-9155; 0000-0001-6476-0429; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü; Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Mozafari, Farzin; Bal, Burak
    The effect of hydrogen on the ballistic performance of aluminum (Al) 5083H131 was examined both experimentally and numerically in this study. Ballistics tests were conducted at a 30° obliquity in accordance with the ballistic test standard MIL-DTL-46027 K. The strike velocities of projectiles were ranged from 240 m s−1 to 500 m s−1 level in the room temperature. Electrochemical hydrogen charging method was utilized to introduce hydrogen into material. Chemical composition of material was analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Instant camera pictures were captured using high-speed camera to compare H-uncharged and H-charged specimen ballistics tests. The volume loss in partially penetrated specimens were assessed using the 3D laser scanning method. Microstructural examinations were conducted utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was observed that with the increased deformation rate, the dominance of the HEDE mechanism over HELP became evident. Furthermore, the experimental findings were corroborated through numerical methods employing finite element analysis (FEM) along with the Johnson–Cook plasticity model and failure criteria. Inverse optimization technique was employed to implement and fine-tune the Johnson–Cook parameters for H-charged conditions. Upon comparing the experimental and numerical outcomes, a high degree of consistency was observed, indicating the effective performance of the model.
